PACKAGE-TIE.

I '0 all "whom it may concern M Beit knownthat I, AUGUST S Borrow, a citizen of the United States, residing at lVadley, in the county of Jefferson and State" the twine without tying the same.

A further object of the invention is to pro vide a device of this character with means for receiving the twine each time it is passed around the package, and other means for engaging and holding the end of the twine after it has been passed around the package.

Another objectof the invention is to provide a device of this character, which is simple and durable in construction, reliable and efficient in operation and one which can be manufactured and placed upon the market at a minimum cost.

The invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and specifically pointed out in the appended claims. In describing my invention in detail, ref erence will be had to the accompanying drawings, wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and'in which:

Figure 1 is perspective view of the device in use on the package.

Fig.2-is a plan view of the device. 7 Fig. 3 is an edge view thereof. 7 In these figures, 1 indicates the base plate of the tie, preferably made of circular form and having round edges so as to not cut the package, and this plate is formed with an opening 2. adjacent one edge, which is provided with aneyelet 3. to prevent cutting the twine. .4 indicates a disk of dish shape whereby the space between the said plate and the disk gradually increases toward the outer edgeo'f the disk. 5 represents a stud secured to the plate and having an enlarged Application filed May 21, 1917.

head 6' 7 indicates an oblong plate, having a pointed end and secured to the plate 1' .bythe rivet 8. The plate 7 graduallydecreases in thickness toward the pointed end so as to provide a space between the said plate 7 and the plate 1 at the free end thereof. 7 V

. The plate 7 is arranged opposite the disk 4: and the stud 5 is arranged opposite the opening 2 and these members are located close to the periphery of the plate 1. V

The twine'is passed through the opening 2 and secured therein, and then the twine is passed around the'packageand brought back to the tie where it is passed a quarter way around the stud 5 and then passed around the package again, at the side thereof, and is then passed a quarter way around the stud 5, though in anopposite direction from the first quarter turn, and the twine is then passed partlyor all the way around the disk 4 and is finally passed under the plate 7. 'Thus the end of the twine is firmly held by the plate 7 and the disk 4 and the loops around the package are firmly held in place by the stud 5.

It is thought from the foregoing that the advantages and novel features of my inven-' tion will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be un derstood that I may make slight changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

- I claim as my invention:

1. A package tie comprising a disk shaped base plate having an opening therein, a stud, a friction dish shaped disk, and a frictional plate all of which are arranged around the edge of the base platev 2. A package tie comprising a base plate having an opening therein, a stud oppositely arranged of said opening, a frictional disk secured to the base plate at a point equi-,

distantfrom the opening and the stud, and a frictional plate secured to the base plate opposite the frictional disk.

3. A package tie comprising a disk shaped base plate having an opening therein ad-' jacent the edge of the disk,a stud diametrically arranged from the opening, a

dish shaped disk secured adjacent the edge of the base plate and at a ointequi-distant' frets said and sat. staid,- and a friestienal plate secured adjacent the edge of the base plate and diametrically of the Frictional disk.

4. A package tie comprising a disk having 2 hole therein to receive one end of the twine, a stud on the plate diai'netrieally arranged of said opening over which the twine is looped after being passed around the package, a dish shaped disk on the plate to receive the twine after it leaves the stud, and a frictional plate secured to the base plate and arranged diametrically of the dish shaped disk to receive the twine after it leaves the disk.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature 15 in presence of two Witnesses.
